In honor of the upcoming Seven Psychopaths, I wanted to write a fitting list, but it seems that the lovely Miss Cindy Davis has already fulfilled the requirements for one covering 10 Superior Psychopaths. As such, I’ve decided to switch paths and list my favorite Cinematic Sociopaths instead. I’m sure a few of these choices might be considered a miscall in the Psychopath vs. Sociopath debate, so here’s a quick primer on the differences between the two types of personalities. One thing can be said for several of these entries — they have great taste in music.
